I am not sure if that is what is going on.. I simply logged into MSN Messenger and Yahoo using OZ Messenger via the ATT Stock ROM. I have been receiving the messages ever since (about 200 hundred of them - at least I have the unlimited text message plan). The message is generally either WVCI 1.1 333 (sent from 1111470600) or WVCI 1.1 444 (sent from 1111470400). I will attempt to find out more about what is happening.. Stay Tuned..

sms
im also getting a weird sms message with every im login. I have a tytn 2 with the stock htc rom. it sent them to me when I was trying to get a oz program working and all the time now as im using mundu.

Ok.. To resolve this issue or actually workaround the issue, change for password for your MSN Messenger, AOL Messenger and or Yahoo Messenger accounts. Apparently once you login with your password, the OZ Network stores the password. The text messages we have been receiving are sent everytime someone on our contact lists signs into either of the 3 IM services. OZ needs to address this issue but OZ does not communicate directly with end-users therefore AT&T needs to help resolve the issue.
Anyway, change your passwords (once I learned about the contact list, changing the passwords made since so I attempted and verified) and you will get NO more text messages from OZ. In the meantime, the only solution is NOT to use OZ.

This is a well known and documented issue with OZ Messenger with the tilt, and 8525 before it. Search the Hermes/8525 forum for the detailed explanation of what's happening and how to stop it, and how to prevent it from happening again.
The above mentioned workaround in the last post sort of works. But basically, log into the OZ Messenger again, and log out properly. The messages happen when you close OZ IM WITHOUT properly logging out first. ANother way to stop the messages is log into IM on another PC. This is force your phone connnection closed. THe SMS messages are basically a "ping" SMS from OZ IM's servers since it uses SMS messages. Ultimately, I recommend you NOT use OZ IM and use another IM program.

I agree on not using the program again.. Unforunately logging in on the PC does not work. .. And yes, I close the app without logging out.. What a crappy bug to have.. Thanks for the additional info..

What program can we use?
i really liked that one.

Sent emails cut off characters; "FRONT-END-HTTPS" apprearing in sent messages

Sent emails cut off characters; "FRONT-END-HTTPS" apprearing in sent messages
Im having an issue with sending emails via my exchange account in Outlook Mobile. I first noticed this when people told me that messages i had sent them contained "FRONT-END-HTTPS: on" in the body. WHen i took off my signature, this disappeared from my sent messages. However, i then noticed that some characters were getting cut off in the messages.
For example,
I sent an email with the following in the body "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". When i received the email, it only contained "abcdefgh"
After more testing, it seems it is cutting off 18 characters off the end of what i type. THis only happens with the exchange account. Gmail sends fine.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I doubt its kaiser related, however, I never noticed this with my 8525, and i figure someone in here might have seen it, or have some ideas. Thanks.
still noone else has seen this or anything like it?
In the past, i could get rid of this by deleting and re adding the account. However, I just flashed the [Mar 08 08]Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19199 UC RTM and now it happens right off the bat.
I am able to workaround the issue where it cuts off text by padding my signature with extra spaces. However it is annoying because every sent message from my outlook exchange account on my mobile device has that "FRONT-END-HTTPS: on" stuck in it. THis appears now whether or not i use a signature.
Anyone have any thoughts?
below is an example of how it looks:
Sincerely,
FRONT-END-HTTPS: on

Would that be more a problem with the Exchange Server your using?

Thats likely part of the problem. But the fact still remains, prior to having a kaiser, this issue never showed up. I was also able to get rid of the issue on past roms.
THis makes me think there is some setting on the phone that might change this. I am hoping someone else out there has seen this.

AT&T Tilt Instant Message & Text Message?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is such a application for WM6.1 where an AIO instant messenger program is built into the standard text messaging application?
If that's confusing (which it probably is) It's a pain trying to switch back in forth between texts and IM's, so im trying to simple it down with combining the instant messaging with the threaded text messaging that comes with WM6.1.
-Thanks for all the help
Anybody have an answer? =)
Not sure what you mean by AIO, but services like yahoo messenger (for desktop) have the ability to send you IM as text messages.
I mean by AIO as in all the instant messengers like AIM, MSN, Yahoo etc. in one program.
If it helps, i'm trying to combine text messaging and instant messaging into one simple program.
I don't think there's anything that works the way you want. Truth be told, there's not many good IM solutions for WM -- Beejive and Palringo are probably the best and both have a few drawbacks.
I believe there may be a DESKTOP apps you can configure to send you incoming IMs as text messages, but that's not exactly what you're asking and I don't know any all-in-ones that handle it either.
It's a good idea, though! I'm a big fan of the built-in SMS messenger. Clean, easy to read, and usable. It doesn't have any sort of "buddy list," though, so that would be an issue.
I think the more likely solution would be to find an AIO IM app that ALSO handles SMS -- I think Nimbuzz might but I can't stand that app in general.

[Q] Texting issues

Hello all,
I am having an issue with mass texting for legitimate reasons (not SMS bombing). When 2.1 came out, it limited recipients of a message to 40, but I regularly send messages out to ~100 contacts. Naturally, I just made do, but I'm looking for an answer now. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Yes, I have already searched to no avail. Also, with 2.1, when I would send a mass text to a group, it would be sent via email to the address linked to their facebook account. I solved this by wiping my phone and disabling facebook sync from the get-go, but would also like to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. When I would view my contacts in gmail, the primary means of contact was still to their cell, but the messaging app would send the message through email.
Thanks for all of the help ahead of time,
kwg8t7
Big bump. Still not resolved. Any ideas?

Google voice not syncing all the time.

Hi everyone, so I have been using google voice for text messaging for the past 5-6months with no problems and lately once in awhile my texts don't get through. I know this for a fact because I would also login to my voice.google.com on my computer and see unread texts and then for some reason my phone will receive the message. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

SMS and MMS issues with BLU Vivo XL on metroPCS

Hello,
I am using a BLU Vivo XL with metroPCS service and I am having a two MMS issues: 1) Every MMS is duplicated, and 2) MMS service is very unreliable over WiFi. Also, I have 1 sms issue where my messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread.
I have updated my APN information to the t-mobile settings. I have had a "phone reset" by a metroPCS CSR over chat. Any ideas on how to rectify these issues?
Similar Problem
I have a similar problem on AT&T. I get duplicate group messages while using google messenger. It only happens with group messages and is fine with normal MMS. Sorry I was unable to help, but you are not alone.

I'm trying to use my BLU Vivo XL with Chomp Messenger (AT&T). It seems to work other than it won't play any notification sounds no matter which one I choose. It's not blinking the message led either.
I was having the same issue on T-Mobile, my solution was to go through each contact and make sure there were no spaces in any contact numbers. Example: 1 (123) 456-7890 would give me problems, but 1(123)456-7890 worked just fine.

Exactly the same with me on AT&T. Any time someone sends me an MMS, I get 2 pictures instead of just one. Crazy. I also get the issue where I send a SMS, and then when they reply, it starts a new thread instead of appearing in the one I just sent. Weird. Let me know if you figure this out.
I seem to have found the CAUSE of this problem, but I have yet to find a solution. I had the same problem as the OP when receiving MMS. Instead of getting one picture, I would always get 2. No matter who was sending to me. Also, as the OP stated, "messages from some contacts do not thread/aggreagate correctly. For example, I send a sms to ContactA and when they respond, it is in a new thread, I can then continue the conversation in that new thread."
I remembered that when I got this phone, I replaced the stock messaging app with Google Messenger (I thought the stock messenger was lacking). I had a hunch that the 2 messaging apps were somehow conflicting with each other. So I deleted google messenger and had my daughter send me a picture. Boom. Problem fixed. I received only one picture from her using the stock messenger app. So I re-installed the Google Messenger app from the play store and had her send me the same picture again. This time, I received TWO pictures. I have no idea how to fix this behavior as you cannot "disable" the stock messenger app. I probably could try a different messenger app other than Google Messenger, but that's the one that I like. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I deleted Google Messenger and tried a different messenger just to test, and it worked as it should. So it must me some kind of incompatibility with Google Messenger, and I'm guessing other messenger apps.

Yup, there appears to be a non-stock messenger app problem. Both Google Messenger and Textra were resulting in duplicate MMS.
I saw this thread and thought I would jump on here real quick. My GF also has metro PCS and she keeps trying to swap the default messaging client out with say GO SMS pro. And whenever she gets a new text she doesnt get any audible notifications. And the LED doesnt light up so she has to manually check her phone all the time. Has anyone else experienced that? Have a fix?

Swipe down from the status bar, click the little icon on the right, select GO SMS pro, toggle the Set to important notice.
Phone type: Blu Life One X on Android 5.1 (whatever happened to Blu promises for a droid version update? Word of caution: Don't believe Blue marketing 'promises'. Nice phone, but don't buy it unless its the OS you are willing to live with until your next phone)
Ever since google began sending love notes about its texting app becoming obsolete and I began using a different texting app (forget which one), I started having problems with duplicate messages being received. Last night I installed Textra and thought the problem was finally gone. Today while looking at the same texts received during testing last night, I suddenly have duplicate texts from last night for some messages (they were single copies last night). Really bizarre. I have also noticed that with Textra, the double text replies seem to now be only with my group texts.
Reading various threads, I became suspicious that maybe something in the Google contact phone numbers has become corrupted. Sure enough, some of the group contact phone numbers could no longer be easily edited. I messed around with the suspect contact information until I could edit the phone number to its simplest form (from +1 (123) 345-7890 changed to 123-456-7890). Seems to be working now. Will need another day to see if the texting acts up once again.
Now to figure out what is corrupting my Google contact information...
it's the 6.0 marshmallow update ..my Blu Vivo was just fine until i updated my phone i suggest you factory reset your phone.
